The Nagoya basho is over, but it certainly delivered some surprises. From the winner of the tournament to the gnarly injuries, there was quite a lot going on at the last ever tournament at this godforsaken, un-air-conditioned arena. We saw a few new faces (at least to me) that were returning to action, as well as all the usual suspects. What’s going on with our yokozuna? Which ozeki(s) have been demoted? Listen up to find out!
